Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #611 (1844) First Line: Lord, I freely would confess Lyrics: 1 Lord, I freely would confess, I am all unrighteousness; Base and vile, from head to feet; Full of pride and self-conceit. 2 [When thy presence I enjoy, I can say, My God is nigh; And with holy wonder tell, Thou, dear Lord, dost all things well.] 3 When deliverance thou hast wrought, I can of thy wonders talk, And too often proudly say, Nothing more shall me dismay. 4 [When, by faith, I view my Lord, Bathed in agonies and blood, I with joy his love repeat, Sink to nothing at his feet.] 5 But, alas! how soon I stand At a distance, unconcerned; And the trifles of a day Almost carry me away. 6 Lord, with shame and grief I own, I to evil still am prone; Vile and base I am indeed; When from sin shall I be freed? 7 Make me strong and steadfast too; Help me all thy will to do; And with patience may I wait, Ever knocking at thy gate.
